sorry i'm actually obsesed with Agatha x Jen (moreso the fallout) so here goes
they met in the early 1900s, before Jen was bound
Jen hadn't resorted to selling snake oil, but she was scamming the upper class
Agatha wanted in
Jen would reel in humans, sorcerers, and witches alike with flashy potions and tinctures (mostly placebo)
Agatha would rob them blind (of their power and/or money
Neither of them were in love with the other, but they sure skirted around that edge.
if either one of them had been just a bit less guarded, they might have had an actual relationship
instead, their involvement was more of convenience. Agatha constantly teased Jen, warning her not to fall in love
Jen constantly had to remind herself to listen
In 1919, they're just a little to handsy and a little too drunk and oh, who knew molasses could spread that fast.
after a frantic getaway, Jen waits at their agreed meeting point
a day later, she realizes she's been tossed aside.
One minute Agatha was there, and the next, she was gone.
Jen once again had to remind herself she isnt special.
the next year, she's bound
she makes a pointed effort to never cross paths with Agatha again
she tries to ignore the rumors, but with each passing year her resentment grows until she finds herself spreading the same vitrol about her.
Agatha was shocked that Jen would abandon her
but quickly brushed it off
no matter how hard she tries, Jen's assumed betrayal always stings more than it should
Neither of them will ever learn how long they waited for one another at the wrong meeting place
